Kristi Noem unveils life-sized bronze statue with horse

newsAug 8, 202646149

Kristi Noem unveiled a life-size bronze statue of herself standing next to a horse in Pierre, South Dakota, installed as an honor for her governorship. The statue depicts Noem wearing a cowboy hat; her husband Bryon Noem did not attend the ceremony. Noem, who served briefly as Homeland Security secretary and was ousted earlier this year, prompted immediate online mockery linking the statue to past controversies, including the shooting of her dog Cricket and rumors of an affair with adviser Corey Lewandowski. Commentators and writers including William Coffin, Jordan Rhone, David Freedlander, Brooks D. Simpson, Ian Miles Cheong, Andrew Donaldson, and filmmaker Cam Miller posted jokes or critical reactions; some shared AI-generated images satirizing Noem and Bryon. The unveiling became notable less for a traditional civic tribute and more for the wave of pointed social media satire and commentary it generated.

Well, I think it's nice of Kristi Noem to make a public service announcement warning everyone that using too much Botox will turn you into a statue.

Statues generally have purpose, an homage to someone of importance. Why this?

Ever have a pet that continues to shit on the carpet no matter how you try to correct the behavior? The pet has has an excuse. Kristi Noem has a firearm. There is no rationale explanation nor legal remedy for Trump.
